A few months ago, I started thinking I should go to Ireland instead of England and I weighed the options in my mind over and over. My conclusion was that Ireland was way better for someone who is 22 years old and out of college, not to mention way cheaper. Yet when I applied for my visa I still went through with doing everything for England but I left a clause open for the option to travel to Ireland, how you might ask? I simply applied for that one as well which cost me and extra $400. That one arrived in the mail just yesterday, and I couldn't be more excited because now I have the option of traveling between the two places at my own free will. Now I have the option of looking at jobs in both places.

When I was alot younger, like around the time I started kindergarten television became my best friend. My relationship with TV has had its ups and downs. It has hit a notable highpoint once again. Sitcoms on TV haven't been the same since Seinfeld went off the air back in the late 90's. The shows that are on now, are much different but just as entertaining.

Curb Your Enthusiasm - Brilliant

The Shield - The most violence, that regular cable will allow

Weeds - I think I have actually been to Agrestic

Lost - I've been hooked since the first episode, and I hate Hurley.

Desperate Housewives - Only the first season was good

Entourage - I believe I went to elementary school with Turtle

Family Guy - the only animated one that gets my vote

I can't think of anymore right now but there are a couple more shows that I love watching, and speaking of love. Flavor of Love is the funniest reality show I have ever seen, check it out.

I completely forgot to mention like the most important thing I have ever done in my list of things that I did last week. I went to the US Open for the first time ever, but it wasn't that exciting because alot of the matches were rained out, they did allow us to exchange our tickets for the next day, but I wasn't going to be in the city that day so we decided just to stay. Francesca Schiavone who was seeded 14th and Romina Oprandi who I think was unseeded was one of the only first round matches that was played that day due to the rain. I did get to see Jimmy Connors and Andy Roddick who were just hitting balls back and forth to each other on a court as well as Justin Henin-Hardenne who had finished her match only a few minutes before we got to Arthur Ashe Stadium.
In other news it appears that I'm running short on money and I haven't even left the country yet. Sad huh? We'll see how this whole thing plays out, only a few more weeks before the big move.

So, I've been doing all kinds of stuff for the last few weeks and on top of that I lost my internet at 61 Hillside. Now I'm at my parents house in NJ for a while before I leave for the other side of the Atlantic.
In the past few weeks lets see all the events that I've missed oout on blogging.

Nothingness- For my last 2 weeks in Boston I pretty much drank everyday, played video games, and hungout in Northeastern's Snell library. There was also those two characters who I blame for ruining my life, who were present everyday. ( Berd and Dave)

Clubbing- Was my second to last night in Boston and I decided to have fun like I hadn't done in ages. I hung out with my friends Shea from Cape Cod and Josh. We went out to Embassy and had a pretty drunken good time, just like I used to in days past.

JP Party- It was my last night in Beantown and I was a bit skeptical about the party being all the way in Jamaica Plains, but it turned out to be pretty spectacular. All of the people that I still keep in touch with from freshmen year showed up, and a couple of newer friends. It was such a good party that I wasn't able to get up the next morning in time to meet my parents for moving out. I attribute King Cobra and Old English to that one.

NYC Adventure- I met up with Damien in New York last Sunday and when I found out where he was staying it was pretty funny. Here was this boy who had spent the entire summer in beautiful sunny San Diego, and lived in a small rural village in Ireland. Yet his first 24 hours in New York City he was staying just one block away from one of the slummiest part of Manhatten, on the upper east side of Central park. For the next 36 hours him and I cramped in every tourist attraction you possibly can in that time period while also stopping for a couple hours of drinking along the way. It was alot of fun playing tour guide once again, I can't tell you how many times I have taken people around the city now, I should be getting paid for it all.
